1.1.5.3.1 Brisbane river basin

Active streamflow gauging stations in the Brisbane river basin that fall within the Clarence-Moreton bioregion are listed in Table 11. The longest running gauging station is Stanley River at Peachester where the first measurements were made in 1927. Numerous other gauges either within this basin but outside of the bioregion or that are no longer operational have data that is readily available from watermonitoring.derm.qld.gov.au. None of these gauging locations are on the lower reaches of the Brisbane River due to tidal influences.
